So, the Amilo Mini has been showing its face quite a bit lately, first beginning with some leaked images, then a quick video surfaced and finally we saw some information about its interchangeable lids.

While it certainly has not been good at hiding, the Amilo Mini has remained somewhat elusive in terms of full specs, pricing and a release date, you know, the important items.

Of course, this is still just mostly rumor, but it looks like we have some more details. The netbook is expected to be officially unveiled during the upcoming IFA trade show in Berlin on August 28, hopefully we will see an availability date shortly after.

As far as the specs, it looks like it will be a fairly standard netbook offering, and include an Intel Atom processor, 1.3-megapixel webcam and running Windows XP. Similar to the specs the pricing is expected to come in just where we would expect, in the ballpark of $600-800 US.

So far we have seen a leaked image, and a brief video, and now another video has surfaced showing off some cool looking interchangeable colored lids for the Amilo netbook, however we are still severely lacking any information on specs.

This latest video offers just another brief glimpse, and still does not offer any new details, aside from the colored covers.

Just to recap what we do have so far, the Amilo netbook is expected to feature an 8.9-inch display, retail for somewhere around €300 to €400 (around $475 to $635 US) and is rumored to be officially unveiled during IFA this August.

If nothing else it does look cool, hopefully it will offer a decent set of specs also. Keep reading to check out the video…

Just recently we showed off an image (pictured right) of what was reported to be the upcoming Amilo netbook from Fujitsu Siemens and it looks like it has since been caught on video.

Overall the video is nothing overly exciting, it simply offers a quick overview, but still, it somehow seems a little nicer to see a video as opposed to just a picture.

If nothing else this video certainly does show off the small size, at least when compared to the 17-inch notebook that its sitting on top of.

The above picture features both the existing 17-inch Amilo notebook, which is along side Fujitsu’s upcoming entry into the netbook market. The 8.9-inch netbook is rumored to be coming this autumn and is expected to retail for €400, which is currently around $640 US.

Specs are still unknown, but based on the keyboard it looks like it will be running, or at least have the option for Windows Vista. One thing that we can tell for sure is that if Fujitsu is truly looking to compete in this market, they are going to need to pack something really special inside to justify that price, especially with the Dell E rumored to be coming in at $299.
